Leaving a Legacy of Generosity

ontribute to the future of MJHS by planning for a special gift such as a bequest in your will or an annuity that pays you Cincome. A planned gift allows you to make a more impactful gift during your lifetime whileelping h to ensure that MJHS will be able to carry on its mission of caring for at-risk patients and their families long into the future. People choose to make a planned gift for many reasons, but most frequently, these gifts are an expression of gratitude to MJHS for the care their loved one, and often the whole family, received. “ My Mom and Dad both received support from MJHS Hospice. Not only were they given excellent care but MJHS also made the most difficult times in our lives a little more bearable. To show my appreciation, I give to MJHS annually, but I wanted to do more. That’s when I decided to honor the memory of my parents by establishing a gift in my will. What a special legacy for my parents to help ensure other patients and their families can receive the same extraordinary care and support from MJHS Hospice as we did.” -M.K.

MJHS has created the Sustainers Society to recognize and honor the compassionate people who have included MJHS in their estate plans. By sharing your intentions to make a planned gift with us now, you will not only join this group of visionary donors but, will also have opportunity to express your wishes in greater detail, so you can optimize the impact of your generous gift.
